Max Erwin draws colourful mascots for The Philadelphia Inquirer

Mystifying Mascots

A fun and vibrant collection of mascots is illustrated by Max Erwin for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia is a 'mascot-obsessed city', but not just the regular kind - it's also full of the bizarre and obscure.

Max has brought together an unlikely group of these characters, from O’Liver the human liver to Whizzy the Cheesesteak and Victor Vaccine the suburban immunization mascot. The newspaper finds out what the mascots represent and how they are helping the Philly community, read the article here.
